Event Details

Social history helps us to better understand lives, provides a background to our research, adds interest to your family tree, and can also lead to finding additional records about your ancestors in places you might not expect!

In this presentation, Sue Kaufman, Senior Manager of the HPL Family History Research Center at the Clayton Library Campus will suggest resources that will help you understand the context in which your family lived, celebrated, cooked, listened to music, and other daily activities. These resources will help provide the stories that make our families come alive.

Join Dallas Genealogical Society on the first Saturday of the month (Sep-May) to hear a free genealogy speaker and learn new ways to find YOUR family history. Hospitality is provided at 10:30 a.m. followed by a short business meeting at 11 a.m. followed shortly by the FREE educational speaker.

Can't make it in person? Join the meeting online through the DGS website.
